Sarah Palin honored by NRA with special Alaska-themed assault rifle



WASHINGTON - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was bashed for her pricey wardrobe,
but now she's getting a lethal accessory.

The National Rifle Association Foundation will present Sen. John
McCain's ill-fated running mate with a military-style assault weapon
next week.

The all-white "Alaskan Hunter" - fashionable until Labor Day - is the
civilian version of a modified M-4 rifle carried by U.S. troops overseas.

Alaska's feisty Republican governor, who is weighing a potential 2012
presidential bid, will receive the rifle made by Templar Consulting at a
May 14 NRA banquet.

It's engraved with Palin's name and adorned with a map of the state on
the collapsible stock - made legal after the expiration of the assault
weapons ban in 2004. The Big Dipper from the state flag is etched on the
magazine well behind a vented barrel guard.

The rifle is chambered in .50-caliber "Beowulf." It's the same caliber
used by heavy machine guns, which can take down big game, and in war
zones "can disable both motor vehicles and assailants with body armor,"
according to ammo manufacturer Alexander Arms' Web site.

Templar gun designer Bob Reynolds told the NRA's magazine that Palin had
stood up for Second Amendment gun rights and "I just wanted to do
something to give back."

..50 caliber?

Levi Johnston better practice his cross-country running.

Or maybe the Alaskan bimbo will be satisfied shooting wolves from
helicopters.

..50 "Beouwulf", Harry.

about an ounce and a half of lead under a low speed charge. it works
on the same principle as a .45 ACP. the bullet travels slow but has
great knock-down power.

I'd love to be at the banquet, but what ever I bid on it wouldn't be
near enough. i would imagine it will bring over $10,000.00

But if I DID have the money to buy it, I'd donate it back to the NRA
museum.

BTW, the cartridge is reminicent of a 45-70 govt. However the 45-70 (.
458") casing length is right at 2" long where the .50 (right at 1/2 ")
beowulf is 1.65"

gobs of knockdown power!

Yeah, but folks like him don't want it to be yours... He already has
his so screw everyone else, it's the way of the elitist. That's why we
have the second amendment... We want a government by the people, for
the people. His ilk wants a government of a few elite people, deciding
what's right for the rest of the people. Basically handing us out what
is left over after their party...

Sorry, ****-for-brains, but my disdain for the NRA has nothing to do
with elitism. I do agree, though, that if I were in charge, you'd be in
line at the Soylent Green facility. Short people, after all, have no
real reason to live.

What "does" your disdain for the NRA have to do with?

Should Obama put short people on his list of disposables, along with the
elderly and not perfect babies?

Krause doesn't see my posts so will someone please repost so that he has
the opportunity to get on his soap box and answer the questions.
